In this biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore how plants turn sunlight into food through a process called photosynthesis.

Learners demonstrate how water can distort, refract and magnify light.

In this activity, learners use simple materials to create giant bubbles.

Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

“Exploring Earth: Investigating Clouds” is a hands-on activity in which visitors create a cloud in a bottle and explore it with laser light.

In this activity, learners make their own heat waves in an aquarium.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

Investigate the interaction of liquids of different densities and experiment with wave patterns with this hands-on activity.

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

If you got a big graduated or clear cylinder, water, a pipe, and a tuning fork, you've got a sound learning opportunity! Learn about resonance with this Exploratorium Science Snack.

In this simulation activity, learners observe what can happen when ocean waves churn up water and oil from an oil spill.

“Exploring the Solar System: Ice Orbs” is a hands-on activity in which visitors investigate a frozen orb, trying to learn about objects hidden inside.
